WOODEN TUB.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,371, dated March 29, 1887,

, Application filed December 22, 1886. Serial No. 222,337. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BYRON ELIJAH CAGLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sterling, in the county of Rice and Stateof Kansas, have invented a new and useful Device for Wooden Tubs or Buckets, of which the following is a specification, reference be ing had to the accompanying drawing, forming part thereof, in which the figure is a view of my new tub or bucket, showing it split open perpendicular] y and the bottom pressed in the same, having no groove to rest in.

Heretofore wooden tubs and buckets have been made of staves jointed together and having the bottoms placed in a groove or channel.

The leading feature of my tub or bucket is having the body or upright part (as at A in the figure) of only one piece, instead of staves jointed together, as heretofore, and the bottom 20 being pressed in, instead of being held in a groove as heretofore, as at B in the figure. I mean to carry out my invention by sawing trees into blocks the desired length for a tub or bucket; then bore a small hole through the blocks lengthwise, and insert a small saw and cut'the blocks into circular rims the proper thickness for tubs or buckets, the same afterward to be polished, hooped, and baled as heretofore.

I therefore claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. Awooden vessel having a tapering,seamless, and crozeless body.

2. A wooden vessel consisting of the tapering. seamless, and crozeless body'A and the bottom B, held in place by friction.
